runners united: the one with the time running with other people

[rhetorician]

all welcome to come and join in - we talk a lot on here, and are always glad of new people to natter with about running (and everything else)

anyone got any thoughts on what makes you quick?

hello

I have been looking at all your pics and excited posts, will see reports when I get a minute, very big congratulations to you all

hatwoman if only I knew, the theory is put in the work and you will improve, which I am sure it is right, but in my experience weight (not much of it) and a fearless attitude to pain helps

must sleep, gorgeous weekend here Gardens pools and generally outdoors with not many clothes on was the way to go

oh dear are all talking knobs and squats again

peach I was at you congratulating the wee runners, for a moment I took that to be women ho had a wee whilst running. Then I realised it's a scottish term of endearment

Great thread last night y'all This place is like a second home to us all.

Where is Moshi?!

Forgot to day congrats to quenelle on the BFP.

DH and I arguing over this move. I feel bullied into accepting and have reservations now we have visited. He says we can say no except we can't say no now and it's too late to change our minds. It all makes me want to stay here even more. Oh help.

Missed 20M LSR yesterday as have sore throat. Great (not).

Moshi how awful. You both have to be fully committed to moving otherwise your marriage could suffer if you are "forced" into it. Is this a HUGE career move for DH? Its easy for the man to be bombastic and say lets go for it as its usually the woman who has to organise everything! What exactly is putting you off?

Moshi that sounds very tough...is it REALLY too late to change your minds or is he just saying that?

Shall I start a new thread?

paws yes, do. Good idea. Moshi that sounds very difficult - friends of mine did this and it was hard on them (although they were a lesbian couple and the partner was illegal in the US so couldn't work etc etc). I've often thought about moving back to the UK, but ultimately conclude that it's not really fair on DP and DD (although there would be legal advantages for us) - I am the person in employment so it's always easier for me to create new networks.

Just did a quick 4 miler (well, not that quick!) and am pondering hat's question - I do a lot of long slow miles, and therefore I am a long slow runner? but then all the training advice seem to say that you need a lot of easy miles. It's true that I don't do much intensity and those that have on this thread have seen improvements...

futurity thanks for the calculator i need to et my arse on gear for thia sunday's 10k. After the hm i have been kind of feeling this would be a walk on the park, a recovery run, done 10k in training many times yadayadayada, realised this morning i'm doing a 10k this sunday, and i haven't trained for it.
backward haha you mentionned sub50 and now i want it.
Probably not this weekend, i hurt my foot running in stupid stupid heels this weekend ( had to catch dd running away on the pavement!!!). I'm not sure what is wrong with it, a sore tendon maybe.
I can walk and it won't stop me from running but it's not right iyswim. Hopefully will be better in a few days.
I'll carry on catching up with the thread, hopefully before we need a new one?

Moshi what do you mean you can't say no now? How long do you plan to be over there? It seems to have happened in a very short time period. Your DH must be very important in whatever he does. I'm sorry you're argueing. Often the best things come from the hardest decisions.
